Preterist Commentary on the Psalms: Psalm 8
This ps. is, perhaps, one of the more important pss. I will be exegeting in this series (we have 142 left!). I believe it clearly demonstrates the eschatological crisis that Israel came to see itself in, as the NT authors … Continue reading
Preterist Commentary on the Psalms: Psalm 6
Ps. 6, I believe, ends a “set”. Ps. 1 and 2 form an “introduction” in general to the Pss. as a whole, whereas Pss 3-6 form a set by alternating evening and morning prayers. Ps. 6 is an evening prayer … Continue reading
Hebrews 1.10-12: A Preterist Assessment
Recently I have been asked to respond to how I would deal with Hebrews (Hb) 1.10-12, which is a quotation of Ps. 102. What I thought I would do is show a step by step process of how I arrive … Continue reading
Preterist Commentary on the Psalms: Psalm 5
Some commentators take Pss. 3-6 as referring to the entire episode of David and Absalom. If this is the case, the Sitz im Leben starts with the rebellion (Ps. 3), continues through the rebellion (Ps.4), then comes to the return … Continue reading
Preterist Commentary on the Psalms: Psalm 4
Some commentators still see the context here as Abasalom’s rebellion. This may be the case. It certainly would make sense. Others do not see any specific context, though mention is made of “right sacrifices” which, some conclude, is after David … Continue reading
Preterist Commentary on the Psalms: Psalm 3
Going through the Hebrew text of the Psalms has opened my eyes to a few things normally glossed over. We had to do some work in the Psalms during my courses in Biblical Hebrew (Waltke, Pratt, Futado). However, translating them … Continue reading
Preterist Commentary on the Psalms: Psalm 2
Psalm 2 is what is called a “royal psalm”. I believe, with others, that it also forms an introduction of sorts along with Psalm 1. Psalm is the ideal man – the “perfect” man, so to speak, who meditates day … Continue reading
A Preterist Commentary on the Psalms: Psalm 1
אַשְׁרֵי הָאִישׁ– אֲשֶׁר לֹא הָלַךְ, בַּעֲצַת רְשָׁעִים “Blessed the man Who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked; וּבְדֶרֶךְ חַטָּאִים, לֹא עָמָד, וּבְמוֹשַׁב לֵצִים, לֹא יָשָׁב And in the way of sinners he does not stand and in … Continue reading
Preterist Commentary on the Psalms: Psalm 7
This is one of the more interesting Pss. in that it is dealing with a specific episode in David’s life. Of course, we do not know when (or who) this refers to since “Cush the Benjamite” is not mentioned anywhere … Continue reading →
